imageHave ya all heard of Meetup.com? I had kinda heard of it, but never took it seriously. But now I have been to my first Meetup, and I have to say it’s awesome. Trust me when I say that there is a Meetup for everything. The one I went to was actually a San Diego Blogger Meetup. I had found it by following some local folks on the Twitter, one of which actually co-hosts the whole thing. I was a bit intimidated at first. I had looked at a lot of the profiles of attendees when I signed up and saw mostly web professionals, real estate, and pro-bloggers. How would I ever fit in? I mean this blog is clearly none of those things..

Well I shouldn’t have worried. Turned out to be a nice cross-section of bloggers that really did vary in experience and subject matter. I had dragged Richard along (kicking and screaming) with me to the nearby Cafe Bassam, and we both ended up talking to quite a few people. I even felt knowledgeable! I am kinda a blogging dinosaur, been around since 2003. It was weird to say that out loud. I also might have unknowingly pimped a friend’s book. Well, I know I did now… but as I mentioned it I didn’t. Heh. But it’s hard to talk about my blogging beginnings with out Julie and Moxie...

Anyway, it was a good time. I wish I could have stayed more than one hour, but my work schedule is brutal this week. Well, today actually. 4:30 in the morning… Ugh. Next time tho…

It was great to meet you at the blogger meetup last night. I’m really glad you made the decision to come out, and I would never want anyone not to come…the last thing I want to do is create meetups that become elitist clicks (that’s so high school). So thanks for coming by, and I hope to see you at the tweetup on June 10th.

Thanks for the pimp!  grin  I wish I’d known, I might have gone, too!  I went to one SD meetup several years ago that was the biggest bomb so I’ve not gone in a long time.  The people were nice, but there were only a few people, one of whom had a blog that wasn’t in English and no one wanted to talk about anything but stats and dorkery, so we bailed. 

I think we need another night of singing. I’ve been thinking about the Tickled Trout in Mission Valley… I’ve heard they have karaoke.  Carriage House?  Somethin’...

Hi. I'm Daniel. This is my blog. I don't update like I used to, but my awesomeness requires an actual website.

210 days and 16 hours until my birthday!
